The real nightmare is that not all surface-level forms have delimiters. I assume that’s because if expands to cond? Could we make that consistent or no? And where is enifed and fi and …? :joy:

I just overloaded %#app but you could probably do that with a custom reader

I’m having flashbacks to reviewing resumes where people put crap like “Programming languages: XML”

Isn’t XML a really good ML? :stuck_out_tongue:

eXtreme ML… I like it :slightly_smiling_face:

There was in fact a paper on something called XML, meaning “explicit ML” in the sense of no type inference, which I believe predated XML the markup language.

Agreed: I think we should call this language “POL” (programming oriented language)
